We develop a formalism to help calculate in quantum field theory the departures from the description of a system by classical field equations. We apply the formalism to a homogeneous condensate with attractive contact interactions and to a…
Quantum fields with large degeneracy are often approximated as classical fields. Here, we show how quantum and classical evolution of a highly degenerate quantum field with repulsive contact self-interactions differ from each other.…

We investigate the length of the period of validity of a classical description for the cosmic axion field. To this end, we first show that we can understand the oscillating axion solution as expectation value over an underlying coherent…
Classicalons are self-bound classical field configurations, which include black holes in General Relativity. In quantum theory, they are described by condensates of many soft quanta. In this work, their decay properties are studied in…
The axion is a motivated dark matter candidate, so it would be interesting to find features in Large Scale Structures specific to axion dark matter. Such features were proposed for a Bose Einstein condensate of axions, leading to confusion…
Recently there has been significant interest in the claim that dark matter axions gravitationally thermalize and form a Bose-Einstein condensate with cosmologically long-range correlation. This has potential consequences for galactic scale…
Axion particles can form macroscopic condensates, whose size can be galactic in scale for models with very small axion masses $m\sim10^{-22}$ eV, and which are sometimes referred to under the name of Fuzzy Dark Matter. Many analyses of…
Recently there has been interest in the physical properties of dark matter axion condensates. Due to gravitational attraction and self-interactions, they can organize into spatial localized clumps, whose properties were examined by us in…
Axion-like particles are a well-motivated dark matter candidate that can form a condensate with low momentum and high occupation number. In the presence of dark radiation, this condensate loses energy, naturally increasing the energy…
The most general description of the classical world is in terms of local densities (such as number, momentum, energy), and these typically evolve according to evolution equations of hydrodynamic form. To explain the emergent classicality of…
Classical fields are ubiquitous in theoretical physics. They find applications in almost all areas of physics, from condensed matter and particle physics to cosmology and astrophysics. Scalar fields, in particular, can give rise to confined…
We study exactly soluble system of trapped bosonic particles interacting by a model harmonic forces. The model allows for detailed examination of the order parameter (condensate wave function) as well as concept of the off-diagonal and…
Short time existence of classical solutions is proved for a system of equations that involves a three excitations kinetic operator. The system is related to the description of a gas of bosons below but close to the critical temperature,…
We study some properties of the dark degeneracy, which is the fact that what we measure in gravitational experiments is the energy momentum tensor of the total dark sector, and any split into components (as in dark matter and dark energy)…
In this third paper of a series that started with arXiv:2106.10032 [math-ph] and continued with arXiv:2108.02659 [math-ph] we show that in $d\geq 3$ dimensions at low temperatures or high densities bosons interacting via pair potentials…
Axions and axion-like particles are bosonic quantum fields. They are often assumed to follow classical field equations due to their high degeneracy in the phase space. In this work, we explore the disparity between classical and quantum…
The formation of a dense Bose-Einstein condensate in dark spin states of two-dimensional dipolar excitons is shown to be driven by a dynamical transition to the long-lived dark states. The condensate is stabilized by strong dipole-dipole…

The grand canonical thermodynamics of a bosonic system is studied in order to identify the footprint of its own high-density quantum phase transition. The phases displayed by the system at zero temperature establish recognizable patterns at…
